Stanford Nurse Residency August 2023 Cohort 39

[NewGradRN_23]

Hello everyone, 

I just wanted to submit this here to start a place where all of us who have applied to Stanford's nurse residency program can communicate. This is for cohort 39, which has a start date of August 21, 2023. I hope we all get in!

I was gonna ask the same thing are interviews starting today? I'm also interviewing tomorrow at 1:30 but for ED! I'm practicing my introduction and then just gonna practice my stories a bunch of times (focusing on 5-6 main ones I think) to try and make sure I'm under 2 minutes and I'm not stumbling over my words too much but I'm super nervous!

That sounds like a good plan. I keep trying to tell myself that there's only so much we can prep because we really don't know what they're going to ask us. But glad to hear im not the only nervous one here LOL

Congrats on completing it! You must feel so relieved to be finished. I have mine tomorrow! Did you feel like the questions were fair and you were able to relate your scenarios to them?

Yes! Thank you! What matters is that its completed and the weight is off my shoulders. Overall im gonna see this as a learning opportunity, also this is my very first panel interview so it was a great learning experience and its understandable to be nervous! If I don't get in, no need to worry! 

 

The questions were fair and I was able to at least apply most of my scenarios/situations I memorized. From what I notice all of them started with "tell us about a time when…”

Super exciting that you got it out of the way. Sending you all good vibes, I interview tomorrow as well!

[ICURNI3]

Can I ask how many scenarios you had prepared?

[yatottekudasai]

They ask 4-5 questions to every candidate, but every candidate receives a different question every round. So after the first round you'll know what the 4-5 questions are, you just don't know in what order you'll receive it. The questions were all fair and very similar to the ones in the interview prep zoom meeting (found on YouTube). 

I prepared 8-9 clinical scenarios.

Thanks for the heads up! Appreciate you ?

Hello, I have my interview today at 1:30. When and how did you guys receive the zoom link ? 
thank you !

Hey Chelsey, when I was offered an interview I selected a time slot, then received an automated email with a zoom link for my time slot shortly after selecting the time I wanted. Check your spam?
